Agree , I have seen far far worse installs in recent years , in fact I spend most of my working week putting right bodged installs or fixing faulty new works etcThat’s a bit dramatic
Do you really think that's a decent job, one that you would put your name to ?That’s a bit dramatic

It's pretty obvious to me that the original Cu was installed fairly competently, although an isolator instead of the henley blocks would have been a bonus and its only being assumed to be compliant.
There was no need for those tails at all, as they could have taken a supply from the Consumer unit, there is a spare way to take a 63amp mcb and side entry would have been simple.
It's fed by 25 mm tails and I assume its 100amp main switch.Was there enough capacity in the original CU?

It's never going to draw 100 amps for any length of time.Was there enough spare capacity to feed a 63A MCB though? Presumably that's why an extra unit was installed.

Absolutely, not every job I do, would I want to be taking pictures of and showing off to people.
modern times with people showing off their instagram lives etc, we all know people only post there best look. Rare to see real world stuff.
sometimes, “make it work” is the only thing the customer wants/needs.
I am not saying that anything will do,
if I can’t upgrade “make it work” to make it work and make it safe then it’s not going to happen.
but sometimes looking nice is just not possible with the restrictions in place for that job.
